D.A. Solomon is my pen name; D.A. is my actual first and middle initials, and Solomon is a nod to my Masonic career. I was born just a regular guy in Union County, New Jersey, United States.
My mother is Hungarian, and my father is Puerto Rican. That led me to have a rich cultural upbringing. I ate just as much Rice and Beans as I did Goulash.
They contributed a varied genetic mix to me, as evidenced by the two genetic tests I took.

I have always been a strange kid; with a penchant for dressing up, and acting weird.
MODERN
DAY
At 14, I lied to my parents to get out of the house, and go to MTV's Beach House in Seaside Heights. I then lied my way on set, and wound up being interviewed by Carson Daly on an episode of TRL, and met Natalie Imbruglia.
(Any MTV employees who wanna pull this tape out of the archives?)
In high school, I did four years of Army JROTC, finishing as a Cadet 2nd Lt.
I love kayaking, so in the summer, chances are that you can cash me outside...how bout dat?
